Join Oxford County Library and Oxford County Archives for the action-packed and slightly controversial story of Tillsonburg’s incorporation

Oxford County Library and Oxford County Archives are excited to announce the first installment in the new Local History Speaker Series:

            Tillsonburg 1872: The Action-Packed Story of Town Incorporation
            Wednesday, October 26, 6:30-730pm
            Tillsonburg Branch of the Oxford County Library

Tillsonburg 1872: The Action-Packed Story of Town Incorporation features the action-packed, slightly controversial and never-boring story of how Tillsonburg went from a Police Village in 1871 to an Incorporated Town in 1872. The curator of Annandale National Historic Site, Patricia Phelps, will lead this lively presentation celebrating the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Tillsonburg.

This event is part of a new Local History Speaker Series co-organized by Oxford County Library and Oxford County Archives. Presentations in the series focus on topics related to the history of Oxford County and its broader region.

This event is free to attend, but space is limited. To register, call the Tillsonburg Library at 519-842-5571 or sign up online using the Oxford County Library’s Program Calendar at www.ocl.net.
